On the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, held in San Francisco from January 12 to 15, Stéphane Altaba, CEO, and Patrick Spies, CFO of Oncovita, will present the company and this new partnership with infinitusbio.AI during a SimulativeBio session hosted at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on Wednesday, January 14, from 3:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (PST). The session will explore the theme: "Cells, Machines, and the Future of Pharma: The case for simulative AI as the viable approach to modeling complex biological systems at scale."

In addition, Oncovita will present its strategy and latest developments at the RESI Conference on Tuesday, January 13 at 4:00 p.m. (PST) at the Marriott Marquis Hotel, San Francisco.

A strategic partnership to optimize the development of new therapeutics candidates from its Measovir platform.
This collaboration combines infinitusbio.AI’s unique Simulative AI Digital Cell Clone platform with Oncovita’s deep expertise in developing new cancer treatments based on genetically modified Measles vaccine virus, creating a powerful engine for faster, more cost‑efficient advancement of new oncology therapies.
The partnership will leverage infinitusbio.AI’s Digital Cell Clone platform, which can directly incorporate real‑world patient data to strengthen the IND‑enabling process by integrating it with animal testing results.
Oncovita’s Measovir proprietary platform enables the creation of customized therapeutic candidates based on the safe and lifelong protective measle vaccine to target solid tumor cancers. infinitusbio.AI will support Oncovita in selecting additional cancer indications for its current candidate MVdeltaC and suitable payloads for its future candidates, enabling efficient expansion of Oncovita’s drug pipeline and enhancing the company’s overall value.

« We’re delighted to enter this collaboration and advance our next generation immunotherapy programs with the support of infinitusbio.AI’s Digital Cell Clone platform. The partnership follows infinitusbio.AI’s successful Digital Cell Clone simulations using Oncovita’s vaccine candidates, which confirmed the wet‑lab results generated by Oncovita. Integrating infinitusbio.AI’s unique capabilities into our research aligns perfectly with our commitment to adopting smarter, more efficient R&D practices. This partnership will help us broaden the applicability of our Measovir platform to address additional cancer types, design new payloaded-engineered candidates and significantly shorten the time needed to deliver new therapies to patients.", said Stephane Altaba, CEO of Oncovita.

"We are very pleased to begin this strategic partnership with Oncovita, an exceptionally innovative French biotech company. We believe the combination of infinitusbio.AI’s Digital Cell Clones Lab platform and Oncovita’s deep expertise in immune-onco virotherapy will clearly demonstrate the transformative power of Simulative AI—from accelerating disease‑target discovery to optimizing clinical trial design. As we look ahead to an exciting 2026, we are confident this collaboration will drive meaningful progress in Oncovita’s next generation immunotherapy treatment development for the benefit of patients," explains Khai Pham, Founder & CEO of infinitusbio.AI.

Oncovita’s development strategy includes combination‑therapy to enhance efficacy in specific clinical settings. infinitusbio.AI’s platform can accelerate this exploration without requiring a dedicated training dataset, using its Human Cell Intelligent Model that can auto‑differentiate into any digital cell clone within minutes to infer potential outcomes.
infinitusbio.AI’s mechanistic digital cell clones will play a key role in validating the mechanism of action of Oncovita’s next generation immunotherapy, providing deeper insights into its biological efficacy. infinitusbio.AI’s digital cell clones will enable comparative analyses, helping Oncovita evaluate its cancer immunotherapy against existing cancer therapies.
The collaboration will also support Oncovita in identifying predictive biomarkers that can guide patient selection and improve clinical success.

Bio-Sourcing and Zerion Pharma Join Forces to Develop First HER2 Oral Monoclonal Antibody Against Breast Cancer

On January 12, 2026 Bio‑Sourcing and Zerion Pharma A/S reported that their joint project to develop an oral formulation of Trastuzumab, the pioneer monoclonal antibody used to treat breast cancer, has been awarded funding under EUREKA Eurostars. This is Bio‑Sourcing’s second Eurostars success and, together with Zerion’s breakthrough Dispersome technology, it will support the development of an oral formulation of an anti‑HER2 antibody for the treatment of HER2‑positive breast cancer.

The program brings together Bio‑Sourcing’s disruptive BioMilk platform—which leverages natural milk components to protect and transport biologics through the gastrointestinal tract and has already been used to produce TrastuzOral —and Zerion’s solid oral‑dosage capabilities using its protein‑based Dispersome technology. Over 36 months, the consortium will optimize an orally deliverable trastuzumab biobetter produced in goat’s milk and progress it through preclinical validation, with the ambition to prepare for entry into Phase I clinical studies around 2030. The total project budget is €1.3 million, with Bio‑Sourcing as lead and Zerion as partner.

An effective oral therapy for HER2 breast cancer has the potential to move care beyond infusion centers, improving patient convenience and adherence while reducing pressure on healthcare resources. The differentiated oral route offers a compelling value proposition in a mature trastuzumab market and creates a platform opportunity to expand oral delivery to other biologics. With the global trastuzumab market estimated at $4.1 billion by 2030, an orally delivered formulation offers clear differentiation and the potential to both capture a significant share of this demand as well as increase overall market size.

Bertrand Mérot, CEO of Bio‑Sourcing: "We are delighted and very proud of Eurostars’ confirmation of the relevance of our unique strategy for oral administration of monoclonal antibodies. I am confident that our partnership with Zerion will further accelerate the development and commercialization of this disruptive formulation for breast cancer. Bio-Sourcing is thus continuing its strategy of developing oral administration of monoclonal antibodies, which has already led to the production of OralimuMab and TrastuzOral in a synergistic partnership with Zerion to further enhance this paradigm shift. The development of this breakthrough in the systemic oral administration of monoclonal antibodies will not only greatly improve patient comfort but also increase access to these innovative treatments, thereby significantly expanding the biopharmaceutical markets."

Ole Wiborg, CEO of Zerion Pharma A/S: "We are excited and very pleased to obtain this Eurostar grant together with Bio-Sourcing. I believe that our joint project holds a significant promise for improving the treatment of breast cancer patients and will further open up a plethora of additional opportunities for switching injectables to orally administered drugs. This blue stamping from EUREKA is also another recognition of our Dispersome technology and our excellent team of scientists that has relentlessly transformed great academic science into a commercially successful technology. I am grateful for that."

Eurostars forms part of the Horizon Europe framework and supports innovative SMEs and project partners—including universities and research organizations—through funding for international collaborative R&D and innovation projects. It is managed by EUREKA, an intergovernmental network covering 37 countries.
